"I copy before and rename their extension to asd"
So it's still an image.... It just has a wrong extension...... That does not change it's mime type.
Try and upload a real txt file or something....

It may be that your OS is hiding the actual file extension, I've seen it happen on Windows when you rename a file the file explorer actually hide the actual file extension so you may end up with "test.asd.jpg" instead of the intended "test.asd".
You can also supplement your validation logic with the mimestype rule ('mimetypes:image/jpeg') for additional confidence that the file under validation is really an image.

rename the file.extension, but it is still image
dd(mime_content_type('......./test.jpg'));
dd(mime_content_type('......./test.asd'));
both are the same mime type: "image/jpeg"

Yes the mime and the extension has nothing to do with eachother.

@ReakyMark Is the file you are trying to upload actually an image which you just renamed to some other extension?
I believe it is.
If so: It's mime type is still image/jpg
Try uploading a real txt file for instance, and you'll see that it will fail the mimetype validation.
